Dear INDEX 2023 participants,
As the president of congress, I would like to express my warm welcome to those who visit the INDEX(Incheon International Bio-Dental Exhibition & Scientific Congress) 2023, which is making remarkable progress every year.
The Korean government has designated the bio-health industry as a national core strategic industry, and Songdo, where we are holding the academic conference, is the named and real center of K bio-health industry. Dentistry has been called Art and Science from long time ago, and has quickly incorporated advanced bio-research, technology, and new materials into clinical practice. The Incheon Dental Association(IDA), which is at the center of bio-infrastructure, signed a business agreement with Incheon Metropolitan City to foster bio-dental industry, and was able to hold world-leading international academic conferences with the support of Incheon Metropolitan City and the participation of many bio-dental companies. INDEX 2023 is a venue for the academic exchange of the convergence between new bio-technology and dentistry. And by inviting renowned domestic and foreign researchers to introduce the latest trends to clinicians and by setting the equipment exhibition we hope to set the stage for research and development related clinical support and domestic and overseas expansion.
INDEX 2023 will be joined by more than 1,000 domestic dentists and foreign dentists from more than five countries, and programs are also being prepared for the participation of dental hygienists, nursing assistants, and dental technologists, as the family members of dentists. In addition, on July 8th (Sat), an academic conference will be held with the Korean Dental Hygienists Association, which will be a more fruitful conference than before. We ask for your interest and participation in INDEX 2023, which we have prepared with great care.
Finally, I would like to express my deep gratitude to Chairman Hyung-seok Lee, Secretary-General Hyun-jong Kwak, the directors and secretariat of the Incheon Dental Association, executives of the Incheon Gyeonggi branch of the Korea Dental Equipment Industry Association, and all company officials who will participate to the dental equipment exhibition. Thank you.
President of INDEX 2023
